Me
thinks
When I first read about
this book my immediate reaction was of awe as to how can astrology be used to
solve a murder mystery. But the author laid all my doubts to rest with her
impeccable way of writing. The storyline
is very strong make you read the whole book in one go the way I did it in a
matter of few hours.
A perfect plot, well
researched and a detailed narrative definitely makes this book a worthwhile
read for all the good reasons. The author truly deserves a thumbs up for her
efforts put behind this as astrology as a subject is very vast and
comprehensive and to wrap a story around it so nicely is truly a commendable
job!
This book is like Gobi parantha - crunchy and tongue tantalizing.
